[1.3] Sidra's Necromancing Ranger of Chaos (Poison Arrow) Videos/Atziri capable

I'm using this build with some variations.

I've taken IR instead of using evasion, I only use skele totems and no zombies, and I run discipline. Clear speed is really good, and even survivability is good. I managed to add some IIR and IIQ, and i can clear all maps even with this MF setup. All around a very good build.

My gear and links



For totems, I use Viper strike + Empower in a +1 all/+2 melee fast weapon in the switch. It works really well.

Glad you are liking the build. I tried Discipline, but after Aura reduction it game me less Mana than simply not using it, which defeats the entire purpose of using it.

The Rarity and Quantity gems are useless so they only apply on hit, and not the cloud.

Loving your gold ring.

I use discipline mainly for the mana regen. I lose ~240 mana but I gain ~55 mana/sec (at level 19). That's useful if you plan to have an high level arctic armour.

IIR and IIQ work with the cloud. The used not to, but that was changed in 1.0.2 patch if I remember correctly ;)

Yeah it definitely helps with regen, I just don't like the idea of losing all of that effective HP - but it's just preference, really.

Can you find anything to confirm that about about the MF? I remember reading a dev statement somewhere stating that that id did not work - and can't find any changes anywhere in patch notes. If it does, that's be cool to have as an option.

I'll try. I'm sure it works, I was using a BM summoner when that was changed. The effect is visible.

OK - for what just happened to me, I need to put this in Perspective. I farm Midnights to farm Atziri via running Sarns. I use this character for the runs, because it can shoot and keep moving so it can gain gem XP while still running the zone really fast. It would be a perfect MF scenario since I am overkill damage anyway, and lot's of boss fights since the corrupted zone is so small. I am not exaggerating when I say I have killed Rima over 500 times. Plus all of the non midnights have spawned another corrupted zone for over a month now. Working MF would be dream scenario just for the UN-ID chaos recipe alone on all of these runs. But - I have never really used any, and assumed the gems specifically, didnt'work.

Anyway - I have made the run so often, I have good feel for what drops, so if it helps, I'd notice the difference. To test (before your post above, obviously confirming) I swap CE and Empower for Rarity (19/20) and Quantity. I walk into Sarn...shot. One shot. A FUCKING EXALTED ORB DROPS.

Now - you might be thinking I should be excited. Nope. I'm kinda pissed, lol. I swear to God that was the game telling me "See what you've been missing this whole time you damn noob."

And thanks for the info and follow-up - appreciated.

Edit: In reading through those posts you linked, something else caught my eye - which I thought was not possible. And just verified myself. Ranged Attack Totem CAN be used with Poison Arrow. Not sure, but that could be pretty useful as it would only have to get 1 shot off before it does to do 5 seconds of persistent damage.

Finally - nailed a Vaal (Poison arrow 21/20)!

Aye that's the last thing to max level. 80-100ex on Standard...need Atziri to stop being so stingy with Hope's. Had a great early run, getting like 2 from my first 5 kills. But haven't seen any since.

Not a good quiver due to AoE Inc?
